on Fire And Ice by Robert Frost, on April 5
I wish people didn't like this poem just because it was at the beginning of a teen fiction book. It's sad really, to think that that is the only way people will read poetry like this.

I love it, because it's short, and after you've read it you just want to read it again, to see how it fits in your mind the second time.

on A Prayer in Time of War by Alfred Noyes, on February 18

on To Fannie by James Avis Bartley, on February 17
Oh i love this. such a beautiful poem with such a delicate rhyme. I wish people wrote with such suttleties today, including myself. It would be lovely.
on The Blind Flower-girl's Song by Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, on February 16
This is a really sad poem. The emphesis lies on her lack of sight, which isn't always such a bad thing. But i don't know when this was written, so maybe it would have been seen as a bad thing then, as it was, even only a few years ago.
It makes me feel sad because all she has is the flowers, nothing else is mentioned that she has within the poem. It must be lonely for her, just her and the flowers. She has nothing else, not even the pictures in her mind of peoples faces, for she has never seen them.
That is my perseption of the poem anyway.
